Porn use is NOT mandatory. Even if your brain is "screaming" for it. You CAN live without it. Digitized porn didn't exist until very recently. Somehow, civilization got by without it for millennia. You can get by without it too.

Porn addiction is a serious issue - and we need your involvement and support. Please be sure to leave notifications ON. 🔔 We have been sending most messages without notifications. We plan only to send the most important messages with accompanying notifications.

We hear you. We'll think about it more carefully whenever we break 1000 subs.

PERSONAL STORY “I’ve spent a total of $51,419.93 on porn… I know it sounds like too much to be true, I’m still struggling to comprehend the amount.“ "But so far so good, I’ve been completely clean for almost a week now, in the 10 years of my addiction this is the longest I’ve gone without jerking off or viewing porn, I feel furiously determined to not slip back to the way things were."

SUCCESS STORY - Day 90! "I am happy to report that I have been living, and I’ve been living well. This is obviously the longest streak of my life, but more than that, I feel like I’ve opened myself into an entirely new lifestyle." "Consequently I have been able to get a lot of things in my life back on track and I’ve reached out to try things and do things that I’ve always wanted to try. Such as: 1) I went to a country that I’ve never been to before 2) I have volunteered my time in many different ways 3) I found a church that I think suits me 4) I started taking lessons in a foreign language 5) I have woken up each morning with a feeling of victory rather than a feeling of defeat." "I DO NOT WANT TO EVER GO BACK TO THAT LIVING HELL. Thank you all for helping me get here. I count you all as my brothers and sisters. One love."

By being a NoFap community member, you are part of a small group of people who are pursuing sexual self-mastery. - How many people don't know that they are dependent on PMO? - How many people know that they have an unhealthy relationship with PMO, but choose not to do anything about it? By being here, you have already gotten further ahead than many others. That's nothing to be ashamed of. Keep it up. Not only can you overcome PMO, but you can also use this journey to achieve greatness in other areas of life.

7) Focusing too much on motivation. 😒 In reality, people aren’t always motivated, which certainly holds true for recovering porn addicts. You probably aren’t always going to feel motivated to stick to your porn-free goals. You have to learn to stay porn-free, even when you aren’t feeling motivated to do so. While your brain might be screaming at you to use more porn, recovery is a calculated decision to quit because the cons of continued problematic porn use outweigh the short-lived benefits that it brought to your life. 😍 Being too focused on recovery. 🧐 If you are always focusing on recovery, you are always thinking about recovery. If you are always thinking about recovery, you are always thinking about porn. The focus should primarily be on building a new life of positive habits that keep your mind off of porn and on your family, friends, romantic partner or dating life, career goals, or whatever else you may be interested in and care about.

5) Not taking quitting porn seriously enough. 😎 Recovering from porn addiction is far more than a one-month “challenge,” and recovery is certainly not a “quit overnight with these ten easy tricks” snake-oil scheme. Fully recovering from a severe porn addiction could be the most challenging thing you’ve ever done. We’ve had multiple people with histories of other compulsive behaviors reach out to us to tell us that quitting porn was harder for them than quitting alcohol, smoking, or even hard drugs. Despite how challenging quitting porn might be for some people, it is possible. Thousands of people have done it before – and you can too. 6) Beating yourself up over slip-ups. 🥺 From our observations, many porn addicts try to quit porn dozens to hundreds of times before finally making significant progress towards kicking the habit for good. Most importantly, you have two options – let a slip-up or relapse set you back even further than needed with toxic shame, or use the slip-up as a learning experience, forgive yourself, and continue forward with a new resolve to pursue self-improvement.

Just a reminder that if you are struggling, THERE ARE BETTER DAYS AHEAD for you ❤️

3) Continuing to watch porn if you’re recovering from porn addiction. 🔞 If you are a recovering porn addict, you almost certainly shouldn’t be using porn. For some reason, we get many messages from people asking us whether or not watching porn “counts,” just so long that they’re aren’t finishing to it. Yes, it still “counts” even if you are not masturbating to orgasm. If you are watching porn, you could still be conditioning your brain to porn rather than a sexual partner. 4) Not trying to improve yourself. 🏃 A sedentary and unengaging lifestyle creates an environment where problematic porn use can thrive. You want to live a life that is so fulfilling, with a schedule so full, that there’s no room for compulsive porn use to leech its way back in.
